One Reaction to The Warmth of Love Ministry
We've all been touched by illness in some form or another either personally or through a loved one or friend. In speaking with Sr. Dominica Marie, one day about my cousin who has cancer, she told me of the “The Warmth of Love Ministry”. The ministry makes blankets for those suffering from illness. This is a little background of the Ministry: “The Warmth of Love Ministry” began when a group of kind and loving women looked beyond themselves to help those suffering with llness. Their own life experiences of watching loved ones struggle physically, mentally and spiritually with illness and disease brought them together. Since work and other obligations prevented them from being with their loved ones at all times, they decided to crochet blankets for them as a reminder of their presence in thought and prayer. From this humble beginning a ministry developed. “The Warmth of Love” now makes and distributes blankets to anyone who comes to them with a request for an ill family member. These blankets bring warmth and comfort to those who are suffering. This simple act of kindness and the knowledge that others pray for them and care about them is received with gratitude and sometimes tears by the recipients as well as their families. If you are talented in the art of knitting or crochet, the ministry would be more than happy to take a donation of a completed blanket. They also appreciate donations of unused yarn for members of the ministry to use in making a blanket or donating yarn, please contact Sr. Dominica at WOL_Ministry@hotmail.com
It was truly moving when I gave my cousin his blanket. He was so touched by the thoughtfulness and the prayers, words could not express.
